This is a massive 6‘ x 3‘ original stencil and spray paint original canvas that hangs in one of our offices. The painting was created by the fantastic Seattle based artist Alexander Codd. He has amazing work, some sports themed, and some not… He’s on Instagram as @ACodd. He also works on commission and is reasonably priced. Feel free to contact him, I have 10 to 12 original paintings of his, and they’re all amazing!

This Tristan Eaton print is a dense, symbol-heavy work that uses the raised fist—universally recognized as a symbol of resistance, solidarity, and empowerment—as its central motif. Eaton layers it with a collage of cultural, political, and historical imagery to comment on power, struggle, and the fight for justice.

Some of the elements I notice:

• Votes for Women banner – highlights historical struggles for equality and civil rights.

• Brutality Department patch & riot control grenade – critiques state power and violence.

• Panther and “All Power to the People” – references the Black Panther Party and civil rights activism.

• Tank and war imagery – commentary on militarization and global conflict.

• Skull motifs and weapon imagery – the danger and cost of resistance.

• Peace dove with arrow – the tension between peace and conflict.

• Stylized faces and pop culture icons – perhaps reflecting society, identity, or consumer culture in the mix.

By combining these symbols, Eaton seems to convey that resistance, empowerment, and activism are multifaceted: they involve struggle, historical context, awareness of injustice, and cultural identity. The raised fist becomes not just a single statement, but a central hub connecting movements, warnings, and calls to action.

Thanks to @theboovier for making me aware of Tristan’s work.

Tristan Eaton is one of the top urban artists in the United States. His mural pieces are featured in many cities all over the US. He has done giant murals for Marvel has pieces in New York, LA, Las Vegas, Miami, Tampa, and other cities. This is a beautifully colored PEACE print that has aesthetics, including holograms, burned edges, and laser cutting. The print is small approximately 4” x 4” (perfect for y desk!) and is carefully encased in a frame of lucite.

I went to my cousin’s house in Chicago last weekend, it was very excited to see that their modern art collection has been evolving without me. This is the artist Dani, from New York City. He uses pop culture, fashion, and mixed media, including acrylics, collage, spray paint, and wheat paste to create amazing works original art on canvas. Even his prints have a nice hand-finished element that gives them both texture in depth. He is fairly collectible yet still reasonable to afford.

Hey guys, this is the view of one of my walls near my desk at work. Yes, some people put diplomas, awards, and certificates on their walls. Not me! Instead. I have original pieces of art from urban artists all around the world. This gallery-style look is both visually appealing, albeit a little cluttered. Still, I can enjoy looking at the intricacies of these pieces while I hammer out emails and take meetings! If anyone wants to know about anything specific, I’d be happy to share details about the artist or piece!
